Data Visualization can be the key to understanding complex data patterns and enabling analysis and discovery. Data Visualization itself is an amalgamation of Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Art, Graphic Design, Interaction + User Centered Design, and Communications. This guided Independent Study aims at learning and utilizing concepts from all the above through iterative prototype generation.
This course will provide students with a forum for discussing and working through challenges of visualizing data using techniques and principles from graphic design, user experience design, and visual practices in science and engineering. Students will create and edit interactive data visualizations to foster better understanding. Working with fundamental design principles, students will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of communicating scientific information visually. There is no pre-requisite, but students should be competent in acquiring and processing data.
